The wLSN Installation Tool is an alphanumeric liquid crystal
display (LCD) keypad that works with the wLSN Hub to
assist the installer in evaluating the suitability of a particular
site for the installation of wireless devices and for verifying
the acceptability of specific locations for the placement of
wireless devices. The installation tool has a two-line, 16-
character text display and a sounder. The installation tool
also has a green LED for indicating battery charging status.
The installation tool comes with a plug-in transformer and
two docking stations: one for wall mounting; the other is a
desktop cradle.
Functions
Diagnostic Modes
Use the wLSN Installation Tool as a pre-installation tool for
determining the suitability of a particular site for wireless
applications or to validate individual device RF performance
prior to permanent mounting. In other words, the wLSN
Installation Tool provides assurance that a device installed
at the chosen location can communicate reliably with the
wLSN Hub.
The wLSN Installation Tool has three user-selectable
modes:
1.
Go/No Go: indicates whether or not the tool is receiving
a signal from the wLSN Hub of sufficient strength to
ensure reception by a wireless device located at that
site
2. Packet Success Rate: indicates signal strength by the
number of bars shown and the number of packets
received by the tool (three packets are sent from the
wLSN Hub every four seconds). The best location for
placing a device is the one showing the highest number
of bars and packets received.
3. Signal-to-Noise Ratio: provides separate readings for
received signal strength, ambient noise level, and
signal-to-noise ratio. The higher the signal-to-noise-
ratio; the better the location.
Fixed Operation
When placed into a docking station, the wLSN Installation
Tool is powered from the docking station through a cable
and wall transformer. While the tool is in the docking
station, the batteries are automatically recharged. The
green status LED on the tool indicates the charging status
of the batteries whenever the tool is in the docking station:
•
Continuously on indicates fully-charged batteries
•
Slow flashing indicates batteries are being recharged
•
Off indicates the installation tool is not connected to
the recharging circuit
Mobile Operation
When removed from the docking station, the tool
automatically switches to mobile operating mode wherein
it is powered by its batteries and goes into a sleep mode
after a preset duration of inactivity. The tool automatically
wakes up from sleep mode whenever a button is pressed.
